Breakpoint-Related Areas Menu

When your task is stopped at a breakpoint, you can display, change, or scan storage relating to the current program or task. From any breakpoint, enter CORE on the command line. From the Main Storage menu, select 3 Breakpoint areas.

CA InterTest for CICS responds by displaying one of three Breakpoint menus, depending on whether your program is written in COBOL, Assembler, or PL/I. The COBOL menu is shown following. Menus used for PL/I and Assembler programs are similar and are described next.

Use this menu to do the following tasks:

All storage areas relate to your current task, which is indicated by the number in the upper‑right corner of the screen. Overtype the task number to access storage relating to another task stopped at a breakpoint.
